Building Custom Subwoofer

[SubaruxDriver]

Longtime lurker here. Hoping someone has some info that will point me in the right direction.

My goal: Purchase all the individual components of a subwoofer (motor, basket, voice coil, cone...etc) and build something nobody else has.

My issue: Other than a few sites selling certain parts, or trying to pickup blown subs/recone kits, I can't find a reliable source for buying the individual pieces. This makes it very difficult to piece together multiple subs that are the same.

Does anyone know of good places to pickup parts? I know places like FI have their own CNC machines and build things in house, but where do people pickup parts who don't build them in house? I know there used to be subwooferparts.com, but I believe they are out of business now. Any info or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I found them before, but their selection/availability wasn't quite what I was looking for. For example, I wanted a 12 spoke 18" basket. Also, the availability on the some of the motors wasn't great.

Definitely an option for some pieces, but was hoping there was a place that had for example 20 basket options for each size. Not even sure if that exists.

Yeah it looks like he is just trying to catch up on things and not kill himself to make money. He will likely be back soon

Does anyone know where "fixmyspeaker" gets their parts from?
I would assume they aren't the manufacturer.
